Even though I'm a hype man myself I like the practicality of it all. People who understand how to turn a profit. At the end of the day this is still business so I'm looking for real practical knowledge of how to actually make money not necessarily raise it.

A negative judgment gives you more satisfaction than praise provided it smacks of jealousy.

God is another name for human intelligence raised above all error and imperfection and extended to all possible truth.

So far as I can remember there is not one word in the Gospels in praise of intelligence.

When we had to do book reports I would pick a book that no one read and just make it up and turn that in. I got praised for my imagination.

I was raised not to be afraid to show emotion or imagination.

It always amuses me that the biggest praise for my work comes for the imagination while the truth is that there's not a single line in all my work that does not have a basis in reality. The problem is that Caribbean reality resembles the wildest imagination.

To raise new questions new possibilities to regard old problems from a new angle requires creative imagination and marks real advance in science.

Everything that is new or uncommon raises a pleasure in the imagination because it fills the soul with an agreeable surprise gratifies its curiosity and gives it an idea of which it was not before possessed.

I have always striven to raise the voice of hope for a world where hate gives way to respect and oppression to liberation.
